002: 1945 | Lies, Lobster, & Champagne

The year is 1945, world leaders are running on caffeine, cigarettes, and denial while the planet burns and everyone’s pretending it’s fine. From lobster feasts in bombed out Crimea to victory haircuts and ration book romance, JoLynne and Amanda unpack the year the world “won” and immediately started breaking again.

We’ve got Yalta drama, Churchill’s champagne problem, Roosevelt’s exhaustion arc, and the birth of the UN (aka the “please behave” club). Grab your chicory coffee and emotional support typewriter, it’s time to relive peace on paper, grief in practice, and a few questionable fashion choices along the way.
